How it Began
From a Peter Rabbit Sign to Your Perfect Space: The Tailor Made Story
My name is Tammy Prebble, and I'm the designer and owner behind Tailor Made Barn Signs and Tailor Made Rooms Home Decor. If you'd told me five years ago that a single Easter decoration would transform into a thriving custom sign business serving customers across America, I'd have said you were dreaming.
But here's how it actually happened.
It Started with One Small Sign
I grew up in rural Michigan—true farm country where hard work and creativity went hand in hand. After spending over two decades in graphic design and marketing for corporations, I was raising my two daughters with my husband when 2020 changed everything.
My daughter Nicole, born with special abilities, has always had a gift for seeing joy in the simplest moments. Her trademark saying, "This is the life," became my north star—a reminder that happiness lives in the small things we create and the spaces we call home.
Like so many people, I needed a project during lockdown. One afternoon, I designed a Peter Rabbit sign for our mantel. I'd never decorated for Easter before, but I hung that bunny up, and it brightened our whole home during a long Midwest winter. I noticed my winter blues were uplifted and diminishing every time I looked at that bunny.
So I made another sign. Then another. Each one bigger, bolder, more creative than the last. I started experimenting with textures, playing with typography, pushing myself to build pieces that wouldn't just look good today—but would last for years and stand out with real design sophistication, not just generic text on a board.
One of my early designs featured Nicole's words: "This is the life." That sign reminded me why I was doing this—to create pieces that help people embrace change, find joy, and feel at home in their spaces.
That one small home decor piece turned into Tailor Made Rooms—and eventually grew into something much bigger.
The Sign That Changed Everything
The turning point came when a horse farm in the mountains found me online and ordered a custom entrance sign. That order opened my eyes to a whole new world: barn signs, farm entrance signs, ranch signs, cattle brand decor, and personalized outdoor signage for working operations.
But I quickly realized something important: everyone wants beautiful, meaningful signage for their space—whether it's a ranch gate in Texas, a lake house in Michigan, a beach cottage on the coast, or a modern farmhouse in the suburbs.
What We Create Now
Five years in, we've designed and shipped roughly 6,500 custom signs and decor pieces to customers across the United States and Canada. Our product range has grown to include:
- Barn signs and farm signs for agricultural operations and rural homesteads
- Custom entrance signs that make powerful first impressions
- Modern farmhouse decor for today's rustic-meets-contemporary aesthetic
- Coastal decor and beach house signs for waterfront living
- Lake and river signs for cabin retreats and vacation homes
- Pool signs, bar and grill decor, and outdoor living space art
- Seasonal and holiday decor to celebrate every time of year
- Business signs for storefronts and offices
- Fine art and wall decor for every room in your home
- Personalized gifts and custom designs for weddings, holidays, and special occasions
We use premium materials—aluminum with a polyethylene core for outdoor signs, lightweight canvas and acrylic for indoor wall art. Our designs feature visually realistic textures that look like real wood, brushed metal, or distressed finishes, but they're easy to hang without damaging your walls.
Why Quality and Customization Matter
I design every piece myself, and my talented team helps bring them to life. We print in the USA and Canada because quality matters. Whether you're decorating a nursery, updating your entryway, creating the perfect gallery wall, or installing a sign at your property entrance, that piece represents you.
It's the first thing guests see. It's what makes your space feel like your space. And if I'm going to put my name on it, it better be worth the wall space (or fence post) it's taking up.
Our Design Philosophy
At Tailor Made, we believe everyone deserves custom art and signage that speaks to their unique style:
- Rustic farmhouse decor lovers get authentic weathered textures and vintage typography
- Modern farmhouse fans receive clean lines with warm, organic elements
- Coastal and beach decor enthusiasts find nautical themes and ocean-inspired palettes
- Traditional and classic decorators discover timeless elegance
- Playful and whimsical spirits enjoy fun, personality-filled designs
We customize everything. If you can dream it, we can design it—from livestock brands to family names, GPS coordinates to funny quotes, holiday themes to heirloom-quality fine art.
Built to Last, Made to Love
Whether you're hanging a sign in a ranch pasture that needs to withstand Montana winters or decorating your dining room with a personalized family name sign, we build things that last. Our outdoor signs are weather-resistant and durable. Our indoor wall art uses archival-quality materials that won't fade or warp.
We take pride in shipping orders that make people smile when they open the box. There's nothing better than hearing, "Where did you get that?!" when guests visit your home or property.
